Biggest opportunity: “generatepress” and “generatepress menu” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 8.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,188 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.7.0.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| generatepress megamenu your tag | #4 | #5 | 0 |
| quadmenu your tag | #7 | #10 | 0 |
| generatepress your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| generatepress menu your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Nothing good to report about this plugin, completely disappointed all-round, it should be deleted from the internet, save a lot of headaches, time and money This topic was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by wplearner101.

Megamenus are difficult and messy by design. I think this plugin does a clean job of getting you there with less of the mess. I really like this one.

not impressed with the support on this product. i paid for an agency license because the plugin claims to support elementor and generatepress, i’d like to use it on a few sites where my clients heavily rely on elementor… but i can’t even get support to answer questions about why the elementor panels look fine, but the front end looks like crap — i’ve removed all custom css and still don’t get the layout that is shown in the elementor editor (woocommerce product widget). i think they even had a chance to upsell me an addon. one star is too much positivity for my experience so far.

1st of all why you use GeneratePress logo and name??! its very confusing! Your menu is also a crap BTW!

Like the plugin. Put, half a day set up and change the color of the menu, but as a result, the menu is displayed completely on the mobile version, not compactly. I did not solve this problem and deleted the plugin.

You have to create a new menu to make it work, so it’s not an option for a big menu. I miss some configuration details, and there is a bug that some columns does not link. Too poor. Also it’s a mess that you have to download two plugins to get the full configuration for GP.
